What do reviewers say about Coeur Noir and Ambre Sultan?
The opening is the audition, medicinal, resinous, almost harsh before it softens. But once the vanilla arrives, that apothecary cabinet sits in warm sunlight and doesn't move for hours.Coeur Noir
This is not the amber of amber-filled cookies or syrups. It is raw, resinous, and aggressively warm, with herbal and savory notes that emerge depending on your skin chemistry.Ambre Sultan
